CSV invites you to discuss and demystify distribution pathways and processes for Canadian Indie Filmmakers. Presented by Vtape

CSV invites you to a very special workshop presentation to discuss and demystify distribution pathways and processes for Canadian Indie Filmmakers. Navigating the many aspects of the film industry can be complex, but fear not! Facilitated by Vtape (Dec 3rd )and CFMDC (Dec 9th), two historic independent distribution companies based in Toronto, we’ll be going through best practices for non-commercial work, artist rights, and more.

About VTape: Established in 1980 by an artist collective determined to decode and improve best practices regarding distribution and dissemination of artists’ video, Vtape represents performance-based works, video art installations, conceptual art videos and new media, as well as social issue documentaries, human-rights-oriented, LGBTQ+, and feminist works.

A vibrant distribution organization, Vtape represents an international collection of contemporary and historical video art, documentaries, and installations. These collections are made accessible to curators and programmers, educators, scholars, and public audiences worldwide.
